Chorus— Yes! work while the sun shines, and never delay What ought to be done on a fine summer's day; For if you put off till tomorrow's begun, The day will be wet or your work go undone. Make hay in life's sunshine by doing good deeds To those round about you with many great needs. And the good deeds you do in the sunshine of life, Will strenghten your heart in the heat of the strife. Make hay in life's sunshine while clouds are un known, For if you are idle the chance may be gone; Make hay while the summer gives sunshiny hours, And gather it in ere the coming of showers. The Class Tree. (Tune, "America." Pat's Pick, page 51.) Grow thou and flourish well, Ever the story tell Of this glad day; Long may thy branches raise, To heaven our grateful praise; Waft them on sunlight rays, To God, away. Deep in the earth today, Safely thy roots we lay, Tree of our love; Grow thou and flourish long; Ever our grateful song Shall its glad notes prolong To God above.
